Although polyester/cotton recycling is well developed, many other blended textiles are routinely landfilled owing to a lack of effective recycling technologies. This review critically assesses existing strategies for recycling non-polyester/cotton blends, highlighting the key challenges and opportunities for innovation. In the sorting stage, integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) enhances efficiency and accuracy. Advanced methods, such as green chemistry, mechanical recycling, and enzymatic treatments, have proven effective for most blended textiles; however, fibers, such as polypropylene, still lack defined closed-loop recycling routes. Life cycle assessment (LCA) indicates that recycling textile waste can reduce environmental impacts by 60%, but the absence of comprehensive LCA studies on diverse recycling approaches limits reliability. Furthermore, while textile recycling is sustainable, concerns regarding the emission of hazardous additives and organic pollutants pose ecological and health risks. Therefore, advanced recycling technologies for non-polyester/cotton blends are crucial for achieving sustainability. Future research should focus on developing efficient recycling methods for complex blends, addressing the environmental impact of hazardous substances, and standardizing LCA methodologies to ensure economic and environmental viability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101276,"journal":{"name":"Waste Management Bulletin","volume":"3 1","pages":"Pages 255-270"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143369026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the extraction of iron from scrap metal utilising acid digestion techniques and explores the production of iron nanoparticles for use as catalysts in Fenton and Sono-Fenton oxidation processes to degrade. Iron nanoparticles (FeSNPs) were synthesised using <em>Mangifera indica</em> plant extracts and characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and electron diffusion spectroscopic spectrophotometry. Fenton and Sono-Fenton oxidation experiments were conducted with varying ratios of H₂O₂ to FeSNPs, and the maximum removal of triclosan was 59 % and 73 % for Fenton and Sono-Fenton oxidation, respectively, with rate constants of 0.0067 min⁻¹ and 0.0210 min⁻¹. The oxidation–reduction potential and pH played crucial roles in the efficiency of the oxidation processes. The total iron leached from the nanoparticles was 74.0 mg/L and 186.7 mg/L for Fenton and Sono-Fenton oxidation, respectively. At pH 3, the most effective ratio for triclosan removal by conventional Fenton oxidation was 1:4, whereas for Sono-Fenton oxidation it was 1:5. Sono-Fenton oxidation enhanced the production of hydroxyl radicals, resulting in a 14 % higher removal efficiency and a shorter treatment time compared to classical Fenton oxidation. Catalyst reusability studies demonstrated that Sono-Fenton oxidation maintained higher efficiency levels throughout multiple reuse cycles compared to Fenton oxidation. The results indicate the potential of utilizing iron nanoparticles derived from scrap metal as effective catalysts for the degradation of triclosan in water treatment applications. To recommend the most efficient Fenton oxidation method at an industrial scale, the study should be extended to evaluate the potential of these nanoparticles in both photo-Fenton and dark Fenton oxidation processes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101276,"journal":{"name":"Waste Management Bulletin","volume":"3 1","pages":"Pages 293-300"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143273105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Globally, fiscal practices, such as tax regulation and tariff structures, are critical for ensuring effective SWM services and achieving sustainable development goals. In Mexico, municipalities face financial constraints and heavily depend on subsidies rather than robust fiscal frameworks to fund SWM operations. This study analyzed the impact of municipal tax regulation and sustainable taxation practices—specifically differentiated and progressive tariffs—on the income generation capacity of 240 Mexican municipalities. Data from municipal financial reports was extracted from official government websites and analyzed using statistical methods in R, including variance analysis and t-tests. The results demonstrate that municipalities with higher levels of tax regulation achieve significantly greater per capita income from SWM services compared to those with minimal or no regulation. Differentiated tariffs based on socioeconomic status were found to be particularly effective, generating income levels 3.29 times higher than uniform tariffs. In contrast, progressive tariffs based on waste quantity did not significantly enhance revenue generation. These findings challenge assumptions about the universal applicability of progressive tariffs and underscore the importance of tailoring fiscal strategies to local economic and social contexts. This study highlights the need for robust tax regulation and strategic fiscal policies to strengthen municipal revenue streams and improve SWM service delivery. It provides valuable information about the impact of tax regulation quality and sustainable fiscal practices on municipal income generation, offering insights for policymakers aiming to achieve fiscal sustainability and equitable access to SWM services.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101276,"journal":{"name":"Waste Management Bulletin","volume":"3 1","pages":"Pages 243-254"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143369025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Land Suitability Index (LSI), derived using AHP, categorized the 124 sq. km study area into five suitability classes, with key factors influencing rankings: Landslide Proximity (weight: 0.162), Ground Slope (0.138), Land Use and Cover (0.122), Ground Elevation (0.114), and Road Proximity (0.095). From the Very High suitability zones, eight candidate sites were identified and ranked using VIKOR, with Kiargiri (score: 0.083) identified as the most suitable, followed by Baboloo (0.530), Karog (0.535), and Phayal Road (0.663). Sensitivity Analysis (SA) was conducted across five scenarios to account for possible variations in expert judgment, with the first three increasing beneficial weights (10 %, 15 %, and 20 %) and the last two decreasing beneficial weights (15 % and 20 %), proportionally adjusting non-beneficial weights. The SA confirmed the consistency and robustness of the rankings, with Kiargiri (0.083), Baboloo (0.530), Karog (0.535), and Phayal Road (0.663) maintaining top positions despite varying weight configurations.

In this study, predicting the compressive strength of rubberized concrete incorporating CBP using the artificial neural network (ANN)-based models is proposed for the first time. The prediction is based on multilayer perceptron (MLP) and radial basis function (RBF) neural networks. It is shown that MLP is superior in predicting the compressive strength of rubberized concrete incorporating CBP compared with RBF. However, regardless of the algorithm used, the R² and adjusted R² values are higher than 0.75. Results on Pearson’s r values greater than 0.85 illustrate higher predictive abilities of the neural networks. Moreover, the study demonstrates that it is not possible to obtain significant relationships between the individual independent variables of rubberized concrete incorporating CBP and concrete compressive strength.
